A Second Female Lawyer Who Worked at JPMorgan Chase Says Fraud Is Condoned at the Bank

The previous time a female lawyer who worked at JPMorgan Chase blew the whistle on frauds occurring inside the bank, the U.S. Department of Justice, along with other federal and state regulators, ended up charging the bank with selling toxic mortgage securities to investors and making JPMorgan Chase pay $13 billion to settle the charges.

That female lawyer was Alayne Fleischmann, as Matt Taibbi detailed in a report for Rolling Stone in 2014. Taibbi summarizes the matter as follows:

“Back in 2006, as a deal manager at the gigantic bank, Fleischmann first witnessed, then tried to stop, what she describes as ‘massive criminal securities fraud’ in the bank’s mortgage operations.”

According to Fleischmann, who worked as a Transaction Manager at JPMorgan, her department was assigned with assuring that only good mortgage loans were securitized but, instead, under pressure from bosses, it waived in improperly underwritten mortgages that were likely to default. After failing to stop the fraudulent process with verbal warnings, Fleishmann memorialized the details in a long letter to a superior. She found herself dismissed in a round of layoffs.

On Thursday, a female attorney, Shaquala Williams, who had worked in compliance at JPMorgan Chase, came forward. Williams has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York with allegations that are so alarming that they should send the Justice Department, the bank’s outside auditing firm and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors into a frenzy. (See the full text of William’s federal complaint here.)

According to the lawsuit, Williams has “approximately 12 years of experience in financial crimes compliance primarily for financial institutions.” She joined JPMorgan Chase in June 2018 and was working in its Global Anti-Corruption Compliance group. After reporting serious misconduct by the bank, she alleges that the bank retaliated against her by firing her in October 2019.

Williams makes numerous, stunning allegations that the bank was falsely reporting to the Justice Department that it was in compliance with the non-prosecution agreement it had reached in 2016 when, in fact, it was simply reporting what the Justice Department wanted to hear while gaming the terms of the agreement.

New files expose Australian govt’s betrayal of Julian Assange and detail his prison torment

Documents provided exclusively to The Grayzone detail Canberra’s abandonment of Julian Assange, an Australian citizen, and provide shocking details of his prison suffering

Was the government of Australia aware of the US Central Intelligence Agency plot to assassinate Julian Assange, an Australian citizen and journalist arrested and now imprisoned under unrelentingly bleak, harsh conditions in the UK?

Why have the country’s elected leaders refused to publicly advocate for one of its citizens, who has been held on dubious charges and subjected to torture by a foreign power, according to UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer? What does Canberra know about Julian’s fate and when did it know it?

The Grayzone has obtained documents revealing that the Australian government has since day one been well-aware of Julian’s cruel treatment inside London’s maximum security Belmarsh Prison, and has done little to nothing about it. It has, in fact, turned a cold shoulder to the jailed journalist despite hearing his testimony of conditions “so bad that his mind was shutting down.”

Not only has Canberra failed to effectively challenge the US and UK governments overseeing Assange’s imprisonment and prosecution; as these documents expose in stark detail, it appears to have colluded with them in the flagrant violation of an Australian citizen’s human rights, while doing its best to obscure the reality of his situation from the public.

On knowledge of CIA plot against Assange, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs issues snide non-denial denial

In the wake of Yahoo News’ startling September revelations of CIA plans to surveil, kidnap, and even kill WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, which confirmed and built upon a May 2020 exposé by The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal, officials in the NATO-oriented ‘Five Eyes’ global spying network struggled to get their stories straight.

LAPD used secretive AI surveillance software to spy on general public's social media accounts

The Los Angeles Police Department trialed an artificial intelligence program designed to pinpoint users likely to commit crimes using their friends lists, location data and analyses of their social media posts.

A trove of internal LAPD documents obtained by the Brennan Center for Justice reveal that the department tried out Voyager Labs' software in 2019, and considered a long-term contract before the four-month trial ended in November of that year.

The software was used to surveil 500 social media accounts and sift through thousands of messages during that period, according to The Guardian.

Police said that data was used to get 'real-time tactical intelligence,' 'protective intelligence' for members of local government and the police department and to investigate cases related to gangs and hate groups.

A sales pitch sent to the LAPD by the firm lays bare the capabilities of the software, which can rapidly amass a suspect's social media posts into a searchable interface, use AI to gauge whether those posts show indicators of extremism or criminal activity and surveil thousands of associated accounts.

Voyager Labs claims that their software can go further than scanning text for keywords. Using AI, their programs can gauge a user's conviction to their ideologies using what they call 'sentiment analysis' and determine whether an individual with extremist views has the 'passion needed to act on their beliefs.'

UK Govt Returns Just FIVE out of More than 23,000 Illegal Boat Migrants to EU

British authorities have returned just five illegal boat migrants to the European Union out of more than 23,500 that have landed this year.

Immigration Minister Tom Pursglove made the admission during a House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee on Wednesday, saying there had been “difficulties around securing returns”.

Committee chairman Yvette Cooper had asked how many migrants arriving by boat since January of this year had been returned to the last safe EU country they had travelled through, to which Mr Pursglove replied, according to the Evening Standard: “On returns related to small boat arrivals… the answer in this year is five.”

With current figures at around 23,500 arrivals, that is a returns rate of approximately 0.02 per cent.

Mr Pursglove attempted to blame the situation on a lack of a “returns agreement” with the EU post-Brexit, “not least as a consequence of Covid”.

But even while the UK was still abiding by Brussels rules during the transition period — which ended on December 31st, 2020 — under the bloc’s Dublin regulations, just 105 of 8,502 illegals were returned last year, according to reports from March.

Pursglove also acknowledged that the British government needed to “sever the perception that getting in a small boat and coming to the UK will mean you stay in the UK”.

Brexit leader Nigel Farage suggested on Wednesday that another problem is the generosity of the British welfare state compared to countries like France from which the vast majority of illegals from the Third World depart, noting: “The French do not offer 4 star hotels, free health care, mobile phones and spending money.”

The comments follow similar remarks from Mr Farage earlier this week, when he condemned the government’s use of British taxpayer money to sustain vast numbers of illegals arriving by boat, which act as a pull for mass migration.

Mr Farage had told Sky News Australia: “…the French do not put illegal immigrants up in four-star hotels with fresh linen provided every few days.

“We do that. They’re the pull factors. We’re the idiots and I think the British public are sussing this out.”

Discussions this week on the rising numbers of illegals arriving by small boats which fail to be sent back comes as investigators are attempting to establish a motive for Syrian-Iraqi failed asylum seeker — and alleged Christian convert — Emad Al Swealmeen who blew himself up in a cab outside of Liverpool Women’s Hospital on Remembrance Sunday, thankfully only killing himself.

Al Swealmeen had arrived in the UK in 2014 and twice lost his bid to obtain refugee status, yet was allowed to remain in the country for six years.

Sources in the Home Office claimed that they believed the suicide bomber had tried to “game the system” by pretending to convert from Islam to Christianity, with the knowledge it could increase the likelihood of him being allowed to stay as he could face prosecution if returned to the Middle East as an apostate.

Philippines Tells China to ‘Back Off’ in South China Sea

The Philippines has told China to “back off” from its territorial zone, reporting that three ships from the Chinese coastguard had blocked and used water cannons on two Filipino supply boats en route to a Philippine-occupied shoal in the disputed South China Sea.

Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin said on Nov. 18 that the Filipino boats were transporting food supplies to military personnel stationed in Ayungin Shoal (Second Thomas Shoal) on Nov. 16 when they were forced to abort the mission.

Second Thomas Shoal lies off western Palawan province in the Philippines’ internationally recognised exclusive economic zone. The Philippines has occupied the shoal since 1999 after intentionally grounding a navy ship on the reef.

“Ayungin Shoal is part of the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG), which is an integral part of the Philippines, as well as the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, and over which the Philippines has sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction,” Locsin wrote in a statement shared on social media by the foreign ministry.

The Philippine government also condemned the three Chinese coastguard vessels’ illegal actions, directing them to “take the heed and back off,” reminding China that a public vessel is covered under the Philippines-United States Mutual Defence Treaty.

China’s failure “to exercise self-restraint threatens the special relationship” between the two countries, Locsin said, adding that he has conveyed “in the strongest term” to the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines “outrage, condemnation and protest” over the incident.

Japan Tells China Peace, Stability in Taiwan Strait Are Important

TOKYO—Japanese foreign minister Yoshimasa Hayashi on Thursday emphasised to his Chinese counterpart that peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are important, while also expressing “deep concern” about the situations in Hong Kong and Xinjiang.

Ties between the two Asian neighbors have been occasionally fraught over a territorial row and memories of World War Two, but Hayashi—who took office this month—said at the time that building stable, constructive ties with China was important.

Hayashi, speaking with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi for the first time, expressed his intention to make efforts towards such ties, Japan’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

But he also said he felt “deep concern” about the situation in the former British colony of Hong Kong, where authorities have been cracking down on pro-democracy politicians, and in the western Chinese region of Xinjiang, where rights groups say members of a Muslim minority are facing persecution.

The Chinese regime brushes off concerns about human rights in those places.

Hayashi also “emphasized the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,” where tension between the self-ruled island of Taiwan and China has been rising, the ministry added.

After sex abuse accusations, Haredi author Chaim Walder steps away from public life

Celebrated kids’ author says he intends to spend time clearing his name; announcement reportedly came after newspaper where he works told him to take a break or he would be fired

Well-known ultra-Orthodox children’s author Chaim Walder announced Wednesday that he was taking a break from public life to clear his name, after he was accused of taking sexual advantage of teenage girls.

Walder, known as an educator and therapist in the Haredi community, allegedly used his popularity and status to commit the acts.

His announcement came after the ultra-Orthodox Yated Ne’eman newspaper, where Walder is employed as a writer, warned him that if he didn’t take a leave of absence he would be fired, according to the Haaretz daily.

The Yated Ne’eman management had held a meeting Wednesday evening to discuss his further employment, according to the report.

“He decided to take a break from all his public pursuits in order to devote himself to the struggle to clear his name and devote his time to his family at this time,” a statement on behalf of the author said.

Putin slams West’s actions in Black Sea as moves that ‘go beyond boundaries’

"We constantly express our concerns over these actions, talk about red lines but, of course, we understand that our partners are very peculiar and, to put it mildly, do not take all our warnings and talks on red lines seriously," the Russian leader said

MOSCOW, November 18. /TASS/. Western countries’ actions in the Black Sea go beyond boundaries, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.

"As for the Black Sea, the latest developments go beyond certain boundaries: strategic bombers fly at a distance of 20 km from our state border and they carry quite serious weapons, as is known," the head of state said at a Foreign Ministry enlarged board meeting.

The Western countries’ actions that aggravate the situation can be seen not only in the Black Sea but also in other regions close to the Russian borders, Putin said.

"Yes, we constantly express our concerns over these actions, talk about red lines but, of course, we understand that our partners are very peculiar and, to put it mildly, do not take all our warnings and talks on red lines seriously," the Russian leader said.

The Russian president recalled NATO’s expansion to the east. "Even though the relationships between Russia and our Western partners, including the United States, were just unique and these ties were almost at the level of allied relations, our concerns and precautions about NATO’s expansion to the east were absolutely ignored," Putin said, adding that "there were several stages of the expansion" of the military bloc.

"And now let us see where the NATO military infrastructure is: it is located right near to our borders while missile defense systems have been deployed in Romania and Poland and they can be easily employed, considering that MK-41 launchers stationed there can operate as strike complexes," the Russian president pointed out.

"It is just a matter of several minutes to change the software," he added.

Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on November 10 that US Navy ships arrived in the Black Sea to take part in the US European Command’s multinational drills in the region. According to the ministry’s data, the US guided missile destroyer Porter, fleet replenishment oil tanker John Lenthall and command and staff ship Mount Whitney entered the Black Sea for the multinational exercise. On November 15, the Mount Whitney departed for the Mediterranean Sea, following the completion of the exercise.

Russia’s Defense Ministry slammed these maneuvers as a destabilizing factor in the region intended to use Ukrainian territory for military goals. The Russian armed forces were closely watching the situation in the region, the ministry assured.

Judicial Watch Warns 14 Counties in Five States to Clean Voter Registration Lists or Face Federal Lawsuits

Judicial Watch announced today that it sent letters to election officials in 14 counties and five states—Arkansas, California, Illinois, New York, and Oregon—notifying them of evident violations of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. The letters detail how these states’ own reported data show that their counties removed an “absurdly low” or “impossible” number of inactive voter registrations under key provisions of the NVRA. The letters threaten federal lawsuits unless the violations are corrected in a timely fashion.

The NVRA requires states to “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove” from the official voter rolls “the names of ineligible voters” who have died or changed residence. Among other things, the NVRA requires registrations to be cancelled when voters fail to respond to address confirmation notices and then fail to vote in the next two general federal elections. In 2018, the Supreme Court confirmed that such removals are mandatory (Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Inst., 138 S. Ct. 1833, 1841-42 (2018)).

States are required by federal law to report data concerning their removal programs to the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC). Every few years the EAC publishes this data as part of a report it provides to Congress. The most recent report and accompanying datasets were released in August of this year.

The data show that many U.S. counties reported mere handfuls of removals—and often no removals—of registrants who failed to respond to an address confirmation and failed to vote for two consecutive elections. To identify counties that are chronically behind in removing outdated registrations, Judicial Watch looked at the last four years of reported data, from November 2016 through November 2020. It found that some of the largest counties in the country reported absurdly low removal numbers under the NVRA’s statutory removal procedure for change of address during that period. The 14 counties receiving notice letters, the size of their registration lists, and the NVRA removals they reported are:

Biden Climate Push Prompts Concerns About Investments in China

Lawmakers concerned taxpayers funding industry 'powered by Uyghur slave labor'

A U.S. agency formed to counter China's economic expansionism is facing pressure from the Biden administration to ramp up investments in solar energy projects, including ones that source materials from China, prompting concerns from Republican lawmakers that taxpayers may be funding an industry that is deeply embedded with slave labor.

The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), which was established under the Trump administration to provide a "robust alternative" for countries that might otherwise seek funding from China and other autocratic governments, is currently invested in 18 solar energy projects deriving materials from Chinese companies, according to Sen. Jim Risch (R., Idaho), who has been leading inquiries into the DFC's China-related financing. That number accounts for 85 percent of the DFC's active solar projects.

"The entire U.S. government—including the DFC—has to make sure that U.S. assistance and development finance do not touch forced labor in any way, shape, or form," Risch, the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the Washington Free Beacon. "President Biden's climate agenda should not be powered by Uyghur slave labor."

Questions about the DFC's projects come as the agency has faced behind-the-scenes pressure from the White House to increase its financing of foreign solar projects, congressional sources told the Free Beacon. The funding also highlights a growing problem for the Biden administration, whose ambitious climate agenda—and prioritization of a solar industry dominated by China—has complicated U.S. efforts to crack down on human rights abuses by Beijing. Republicans claim that climate envoy John Kerry, who last week dismissed human rights abuses in China's solar industry as "not my lane," has been privately lobbying Congress against a bill that would ban goods made with Uyghur forced labor, the Free Beacon reported last week.

The Biden administration "let us know that there is a desire to use DFC to finance solar panel projects," one Republican congressional aide told the Free Beacon. "But that it's possible there's not safeguards in place to ensure solar panels aren't tied to forced labor."

China produces more than 80 percent of the world's polysilicon, the primary material in solar panels. Most of that supply is produced by manufacturers that use or benefit from forced labor of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region, according to a report released this year by Sheffield Hallam University's Helena Kennedy Center for Justice.

The report, which linked more than 100 companies to labor abuses using public records, concluded that "the vast majority of the [People's Republic of China's] solar supply chain is at very high risk of being tainted by forced labour in the Uyghur region."

Pelosi on $550 billion climate spending: 'For me, it's a religious thing'

Biden's Build Back Better Act is estimated to cost $4.79 trillion if its policies are made permanent, according to the Committee for a Responsible Budget

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that the Democrats' effort to dedicate over $550 billion of taxpayer funding toward climate change initiatives in President Biden's Build Back Better Act has a religious meaning.

"For me, it's a religious thing. I believe this is God's creation and we have moral obligation to be good stewards. But if you don't share that view, you must share the view that we have an obligation to future generations," Pelosi, who was raised Catholic, said at a news conference. "So we're very excited about what is in there and it is paid for."

Biden's bill also continues the Democrats' expansion of the Child Tax Credit that passed in the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, a coronavirus stimulus bill. For the first time, parents not earning income can claim the Child Tax Credit on their tax returns up to $3,600 per child, depending on their age.

"It's about health care for our children, clean air, clean water, it's about jobs, jobs, jobs; good paying union jobs, to keep us preeminent in green technologies throughout the world," Pelosi said.

The California Democrat also touted the universal pre-K provisions of the bill.

"This legislation is so historic. It is so transformative," she said. "Free, universal pre-K. Childcare, we're lowering the costs."

Moderate Democrats have called for the Congressional Budget Office to "score" the cost of the bill before a final vote occurs. Democratic leaders are using the budget reconciliation process for the bill to avoid the legislative filibuster in the 50-50 Senate. Pelosi said she expects the score to be released on Thursday and a final vote to occur in the evening or on Friday.

The bill is estimated to cost $4.79 trillion if its policies are made permanent, according to the Committee for a Responsible Budget.

COVID-19: Big Pharma’s ‘Obscene’ Profits

Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech rake in millions an hour while refusing to share manufacturing recipes with low-income countries.

Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech — the makers of the two most successful coronavirus vaccines — are raking in a combined $65,000 in profits every minute as they refuse to share their manufacturing recipes with developing countries, where billions of people still lack access to lifesaving shots.

According to a new People’s Vaccine Alliance analysis of recent earnings reports, People’s Vaccine Alliance, “It is obscene that just a few companies are making millions of dollars in profit every single hour while just two percent of people in low-income countries have been fully vaccinated against coronavirus,” said Maaza Seyoum of the People’s Vaccine Alliance Africa.

“Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna have used their monopolies to prioritize the most profitable contracts with the richest governments, leaving low-income countries out in the cold.”

Moderna — a Massachusetts-based company that developed its vaccine with the help of government research and around $10 billion in taxpayer funding — has delivered just 0.2 percent of its total vaccine supply to low-income countries, the People’s Vaccine Alliance estimates. The coronavirus vaccine is Moderna’s only product on the market.

Pfizer and its Germany-based partner BioNTech — whose vaccine was also helped along by taxpayer money — haven’t done much better than their competitor, sending less than 1 percent of their supply to poor nations while profiting hugely from sales to rich countries.

“Predominantly, right now, we have already signed orders, and those are with high-income countries,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla recently said of coronavirus vaccine sales for next year, blaming poor countries for not ordering shots quickly enough.

“We are negotiating right now with few middle-income countries, and with even fewer low-income countries,” Bourla said.

But public health campaigners argue that bilateral deals and vaccine donations are not sufficient to bring production and distribution into line with global needs. Instead, they say, pharmaceutical giants must relinquish their vaccine recipes and allow qualified manufacturers around the world to produce low-cost generic versions for their populations.

Taiwan: Post-Vaccination Deaths in 3 Days Exceed Covid Deaths Over 14 Months

At the end of October, we wrote that there had been 830 Covid deaths after the launch of Taiwan’s Covid injection campaign. Additionally, 982 people died after receiving a Covid injection. According to Worldometer there has been one Covid death since our previous article, making the total Covid deaths since the launch of the injection campaign 831. But deaths post-Covid injection continue to rise.

Taiwan confirmed its first coronavirus case on 21 January 2020 and from then up to the day Taiwan’s Covid injection campaign began, 22 March 2021, there had been 17 Covid deaths.

As of 16 November, according to Taiwan’s VAERS, 1,090 people had died post-Covid injection – an increase of 108 in the 18 days since our last article. An average of 6 per day. In just three days as many had died due to a “suspected serious event” post-injection (18) as had died with Covid during the 14 months Jan 2020 – March 2021 (17).

The CDC’s ‘Notification of adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination’ report which shows details of deaths post-injection is in Taiwanese but we have used Google to translate it into English and attached it below.

In the same 18-day period an additional 3,7 million doses of Covid injections had been administered. Below are some observations. They are merely observations and in no way intended to be taken as proof of causation but it would be worth checking in the future to see if these observations continue and so become trends.

Despite relatively similar additional number of doses of AstraZeneca and BioNTech, there are more than double the additional post-injection deaths relating to AstraZeneca. There were a high number of additional AstraZeneca second doses administered which could imply the second dose is more deadly than the first, assuming all “vaccines” are equal.

Moderna, like AstraZeneca, has a proportionally high number of second doses recently administered. It has almost the same number of post-injection deaths as AstraZeneca although only half of the number of additional doses. Based on these numbers, and ignoring any underlying factors or variables, Moderna seems twice as deadly as AstraZeneca.

Israeli Defense Minister House Cleaner Accused Of Spying For Iran-Linked Hacking Group

An Israeli man who worked as a house cleaner for Defense Minister Benny Gantz was recently arrested for offering to spy on the minister on behalf of Iran, the Israeli Security Agency, Shin Bet, announced on November 18.

The Shin Bet said that the man, Omri Goren, was arrested shortly after he contacted the Iran-linked hacking group Black Shadow, and before he could do any damage.

Goren was accused of espionage, a crime that carries a sentence of 10 to 15 years in Israel. The The 37-year-old Lod resident had many run-ins with the law in the past. Between 2002 and 2013, he was found guilty of crimes five times, including two convictions for bank robbery and others for theft and breaking-and-entering.

Goren contacted a representative of the Black Shadow group, which recently hacked a popular Israeli LGBT dating site. He offered the group to transfer information from Gantz’s house in exchange for money.

According to the Shin Bet, Goren discussed the possibility of installing malware on Gantz’s computer. The malware would have given the Iranian-linked hacking group access to the minister’s device.

In order to prove his ability and sincerity, Goren took photographs of Gantz’s desk, computer, phone and tablet, a closed safe and a shredder, pictures of Gantz and his family and a copy of the minister’s local property tax payments then sent them to the Black Shadow group.

“It should be stressed that in light of operational security protocols in the minister’s house, Omri was not exposed to classified materials and therefore no such documents were transferred to the figures with whom he was in contact,” the Shin Bet said.

Goren’s case exposes some serious flaws in Israel’s security. The Shin Beit has already launched an internal review of the way background checks are performed for workers in ministers’ homes.

Ohio Attorney General Sues Facebook for Securities Fraud, Alleging the Company Misled Investors

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced on Monday that he has filed a lawsuit against Facebook, claiming the company misled and deceived investors in an effort to boost the price of its stock.

Yost, a Republican, filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS), which has invested millions in Facebook stock. Also named as defendants are Facebook executives Mark Zuckerberg, David M. Wehner, and Nick Clegg.

The multi-pronged lawsuit alleges that “from April 29 through Oct. 21, 2021 Facebook and its senior executives violated federal securities laws by purposely misleading the public about the negative effects its products have on the health and well-being of children and the steps the company has taken to protect the public,” and by inflating its user numbers, thus defrauding investors.

“This matter arises from an egregious breach of public trust by Facebook, which knowingly exploited its most vulnerable users—including children throughout the world—in order to drive corporate profits,” the lawsuit contends. “At the same time, Defendants repeatedly misrepresented to investors and the public that use of Facebook’s products does not harm children, that the Company takes aggressive and effective measures to stop the spread of harmful content, and that Facebook applies its standards of behavior equally to all users.”

“Facebook investors recently learned the truth when former Facebook employee turned whistleblower, Frances Haugen, leaked internal documents to the Wall Street Journal” showing that “Defendants were aware that Facebook’s platforms facilitate dissention [sic], illegal activity, and violent extremism, and cause significant harm to users, especially children, but Facebook refused to correct these issues,” the lawsuit alleges. In October, Haugen filed eight SEC complaints against Facebook alleging that the company repeatedly misled the public and investors.

Bank of America Initiates a Pilot Program Separating Vaccinated From Unvaccinated Employees

A source who works with Bank of America has disclosed a pilot program beginning Nov. 18 that plans to separate vaccinated from unvaccinated employees at an administration building in Jacksonville, Florida.

The source, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Epoch Times that the program was initiated as a way to bring employees back to the office after a period of working remotely during the pandemic. But the plan casts a dark shadow on our potential future society, the source said.

“It’s segregation,” they said. “I’m blown away.”

Shifts in Work Culture

Employees trickled back into their abandoned offices this year at varying rates amid a multitude of experimental corporate policies after the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus led to a worldwide work-from-home culture.

With the wider availability of vaccines, people began taking off their masks, and workplace policies became less restricted.

Then, fears over the Delta variant sent many back home and became the platform on which President Joe Biden announced his vaccine mandate policy in September when he had directed the Department of Labor to develop a rule requiring all employers with 100 or more employees to get vaccinated by Jan. 4, 2022.

On Nov. 12, a U.S. appeals court rejected a challenge by the Biden administration and reasserted its decision to halt Biden’s order for companies with 100 workers or more to mandate the COVID-10 vaccine.

Though the mandate was not voted on by U.S. Congress and has not become law, many businesses had already initiated their own vaccination deadlines and policies as lawsuits have piled up against the Biden administration regarding the mandates.

While some businesses have chosen to mandate vaccines, leading to mass firings and resignations, others have not,

Bill Gates Predicts COVID Will Kill Fewer People Than The Flu In 2022

Bill Gates has a prediction about the COVID-19 pandemic and what it will be like in the near future; deaths and infections from the virus will fall behind those from the seasonal flu in 2022.

Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore, the billionaire philanthropist said the combination of natural immunity and the emergence of vaccines or other treatments for COVID-19 will push down infection rates "dramatically."

“The vaccines are very good news, and the supply constraints will be largely solved as we get out in the middle of next year, and so we’ll be limited by the logistics and the demand,” Gates said in a virtual interview seen by atendees.

COVID-19 has killed 5,128,082 people and there have been over 255,217,160 cases worldwide, according to the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 dashboard.

The flu was previously one of the deadliest and most widespread diseases in the world with the Spanish flu being the last pandemic to have spread in a similar way to COVID-19.

Flu deaths have come down dramatically in the last century, but the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that between 290,000 and 650,000 people die from the flu annually.

Global Europol taskforce identifies 18 child victims of sexual abuse

A total of 18 children have been tentatively identified and two offenders apprehended as a result of the 10th edition of Europol’s Victim Identification Taskforce (VIDTF). Nine of these young victims have already been rescued by the competent authorities, with investigations ongoing to safeguard the others.

The VIDTF is a Europol initiative which this year gathered specialists from 26 countries and partner agencies to identify victims and offenders depicted in child sexual abuse material.

Between 25 October and 5 November 2021, these experts combed through some 580 sets of images and video files depicting unknown victims of child sexual abuse, some as young as a few days old. They were supported by Europol specialists and intelligence analysts in the field of combating the sexual exploitation of children.

In addition to the 18 children identified, the likely country of production has been located in 211 instances and intelligence packages sent by Europol to the relevant countries for investigation.

Officers from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Malta, Moldova, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, the United States, Europol and INTERPOL took part in the 10th VIDTF.

Combining efforts to rescue children

Since 2014, Europol has been gathering victim identification specialists from across the world on a regular basis in order to focus on unsolved cases of child sexual abuse.

The VIDTF is the largest recurring operation of its kind in the world, and has inspired a number of similar initiatives at the national and regional levels, such as in Italy and Australia.

Now in its 10th iteration, the VIDTF has yielded the following results since it was first convened:

290 specialists from over 35 countries have taken part in this operational activity;

A likely country of production was identified in 1 726 instances;

Over 533 children have been safeguarded and 182 offenders arrested as a result of the VIDTF operations.

Europol’s Executive Director Catherine de Bolle said: “Changing global circumstances in recent decades have changed the way child abusers commit their crimes and hide their tracks. Results such as these from the VIDTF show that law enforcement has kept up with these changes and built a formidable united front against this type of crime. This is echoed by the public’s support through the Trace An Object initiative, and together we can hopefully rescue more children and infants from abuse and sexual exploitation.”

Public appeal for help

You can help us identify the origin of certain objects as part of Europol’s Trace An Object initiative. Non-confrontational details of images extracted from child sexual abuse cold cases are regularly made public, in the hope that someone recognises a detail that will help narrow down the location of the victim.

27 000 tips have already been sent to Europol, which have led to the identification of 23 children and to the prosecution of 5 offenders.

Europol is releasing today a new set of images in the hope that these can be identified by the general public.

Pandemic Payoff: Bill Gates Injected $319 Million Into Mainstream Media

Last year 21WIRE reported on an investigation conducted by the prestigious Columbia Journalism Review which exposed how Bill Gates has been busy injecting hundreds millions into media outlets around the world – and how in return he was not only given carte blanche access to many of those same media outlets to promote his own interests and projects, namely the global roll-out COVID-19 vaccine and select therapeutic drugs. Not surprisingly, Gates has also received unanimous fawning coverage of his constant promotion of lockdowns, masks and experimental mRNA jabs.

Additional information was revealed this week which shows the full extent of Gates’ hold over the mainstream media, based on over 30,000 individual grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s own website database.

The beneficiaries include the biggest names in mainstream media, including CNN, BBC, NBC, NPR, PBS, The Guardian, France’s Le Monde, The Financial Times, The Daily Telegraph, Germany’s Der Spiegel, the Conversation, Education Week, the Education Post, the Financial Times, the Texas Tribune, Al-Jazeera, the Atlantic, and New York Public Radio.

The top winners include $24.6 million for Washington’s state-run media outlet NPR, $12.9 million for The Guardian, and $10.8 million for Seattle-based Cascade Public Media, which owns local station KCTS-TV.

Alan McLeod from Mint Press News writes…

While other billionaires’ media empires are relatively well known, the extent to which Gates’s cash underwrites the modern media landscape is not. After sorting through over 30,000 individual grants, MintPress can reveal that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) has made over $300 million worth of donations to fund media projects.

Recipients of this cash include many of America’s most important news outlets, including CNN, NBC, NPR, PBS and The Atlantic. Gates also sponsors a myriad of influential foreign organizations, including the BBC, The Guardian, The Financial Times and The Daily Telegraph in the United Kingdom; prominent European newspapers such as Le Monde (France), Der Spiegel (Germany) and El País (Spain); as well as big global broadcasters like Al-Jazeera.

The Gates Foundation money going towards media programs has been split up into a number of sections, presented in descending numerical order, and includes a link to the relevant grant on the organization’s website.

California pro-lifers take to the streets to protest the buying, selling of aborted babies’ body parts

‘Nobody can deny it anymore,’ said pro-life activist A.J. Hurley, arguing there’s ‘nothing more disgusting’ or ‘barbaric’ than ‘the line-by-line live birth dismemberment and sale of fetal organs.’

Pro-life advocates took to the streets of Alameda, California, last week after a local pro-life organization obtained documents detailing the purchase and sale of murdered unborn babies’ body parts between the University of California, San Francisco, and bioscientific “nonprofit” foundation Advanced Bioscience Resources.

The November 11 event was organized by pro-life activist group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust and held outside the Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) facility in Alameda, a Bay Area city just east of radically pro-abortion San Francisco.

In 2015, ABR was one of multiple companies targeted by pro-life activist and Center for Medical Progress (CMP) founder David Daleiden for its involvement in the “live dismemberment and fetal organ harvesting” of unborn babies.

A. J. Hurley, Director of Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, told LifeSite’s Alejandro Rodriguez in an interview his group chose to rally outside the ABR building last week because local anti-abortion organization Pro-Life San Francisco recently obtained documentation which they say proves ABR was selling the organs of unborn babies for profit.

“Nobody can deny it anymore,” Hurley said, arguing there’s “nothing more disgusting” or “barbaric” than “the line-by-line live birth dismemberment and sale of fetal organs.”

“As Americans, we should be ashamed of this,” he said. “We should not tolerate this, let alone nobody should be making money off of this.”

A ‘nonprofit’ that specializes in trafficking unborn babies’ body parts

A “nonprofit” corporate foundation, ABR “specializes in the procurement, preservation and distribution of both human fetal tissues and full term umbilical cord blood for research …,” according to a document obtained by CMP.

“Tissues obtained through ABR are retrieved from routinely performed surgical procedures including first and second-trimester induced abortions, and full term deliveries, either natural or caesarian section,” the document states.

In 2017, the U.S. Department of Justice launched a federal investigation into ABR for allegedly illegally selling the body parts of unborn babies for profit after two Congressional committees submitted criminal referrals to the DOJ, CMP reported.

Davos Billionaires Want to Save the Planet… Why Don’t Developing Countries Trust Them?

For the time being, the world’s developing sector is generally not going to accept being sacrificed on the altar of a new Gaia cult managed by a priesthood of Davos billionaires.

A miracle appears to be happening, as the multibillionaires of the World Economic Forum (WEF) appear to have grown consciences.

As if by magic, it appears that these gold collar elites no longer yearn for profit and power as they once had. As COP26 closes up its 12 day annual ceremonies, leading WEF-connected figures like Prince Charles, Jeff Bezos, Mario Draghi, Mark Carney and Klaus Schwab have announced a new system of economics that is based on virtue over profit!

According to the COP26 website,

“95 high profile companies from a range of sectors commit to being ‘Nature Positive,’ agreeing to work towards halting and reversing the decline of nature by 2030.”

Prince Charles has boasted that he has coordinated 300 companies representing over $60 trillion to get on board with a global green transition, and after meeting with the Prince on November 2, Jeff Bezos announced his new $2 billion Earth Fund to protect nature’s ecosystems with a focus on Africa.

Even Prime Minister Mario Draghi has joined Mark Carney on this new green path, as both men have moved beyond their old Goldman Sachs money worshipping days and embraced a better destiny. At the Nov 1 G20 Summit, Draghi embraced Prince Charles’ Green Markets Initiative and threw Italy’s full support behind the de-carbonization initiative.

The Prince himself (who also happens to be the nominal creator of the Great Reset Agenda launched in 2020), spoke as an enlightened statesman saying to the world’s leaders

“as the enormity of the climate challenge dominates peoples’ conversations, from news rooms to living rooms, and as the future of humanity and Nature herself are at stake, it is surely time to set aside our differences and grasp this unique opportunity to launch a substantial green recovery by putting the global economy on a confident, sustainable trajectory and, thus, save our planet.”

Among the new array of financial mechanisms which we see being brought online in this war against humanity involve Bezos’ new Earth Fund, and Sir Robert Watson’s Living Planet Index (unveiled in 2018 at the World Economic Forum) and the new Rockefeller Foundation-sponsored Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG) which seeks to turn global ecosystems worth an estimated $4 quadrillion into financial equity controllable by new private corporations (dubbed “natural asset companies”).

PROOF: MSNBC Producer Deletes Tweets and Twitter Account After Reportedly Instructing Journalist James Morrison to Follow Rittenhouse Jury Bus

On Thursday morning the Kenosha Judge overseeing the Kyle Rittenhouse trial banned MSNBC From the trial AND the courthouse…

Judge: “I have instructed that no one from MSNBC will be allowed into this building for the duration of the trial.”

The Kenosha Police Department announced this morning that they took a suspect into custody last night.

The person was working for a national media outlet and was suspected of trying to photograph jurors.

The suspect was from MSNBC — what a shock.

The reporter’s name is James Morrison and the MSNBC producer is named Irene Byon.

Irene is deleting her comments — She just deleted her account.

She instructed Morrisson to follow the jury bus! And she was stupid enough to post it on Twitter.

But Twitter user CrabCrawler1 saved screengrabs

Houston Health Dept Workers Caught on VIDEO Going Door-to-Door Asking Residents: “Have you been vaccinated?…Which one did you get?”

100 Percent Fed Up reports – A stunning home security camera shows a team of four people who identify as employees of the Houston Health Department in Texas going door-to-door at an apartment complex, asking residents if they or any members of their family have received a COVID jab?

Four individuals wearing masks can be seen holding clipboards and taking notes as they knock on the doors of private citizens, shouting, “Houston Health Department,” as they attempt to check on the vaccination status of residents in an apartment complex.

When one resident answers the door via intercom, the Houston Health Department worker can be heard saying, “I’m a [inaudible] with the Health Department—How you doing today?” The resident asks, “With the what?” He responds, “Houston department.” The worker explains, “We’re just going around the community to inform that you can get the vaccine for the coronavirus,” Have you been vaccinated?” he asks. “Yes, sir, we are,” the resident responds. “May I ask, which one did you get?” he asks. “Um, the Pfizer.” the resident responds. “Um…how many people in your house got vaccinated?” he asks. The resident answers, “Just me and my wife—that’s all that lives here.” The health care worker asks, “Do you want me to leave the information at your door?” The resident tells him to just leave the information behind.

The workers can be heard sharing the results from their door-knocking campaign with each other before moving on with their door-knocking campaign.

Watch the incredible scene here:

When did America become Nazi Germany?

Daniel Andrews takes another swipe at protesters for 'ugly scenes' outside state parliament rallying over pandemic bill

The Premier told demonstrators they can "threaten me all they like" but the focus of his government is to keep the economy open as he stressed how important the coronavirus vaccine will be in helping Victoria avoid another lockdown.

Premier Daniel Andrews has sent a stern warning to thousands of protesters that his government will not be "intimated into cowering away from our duty".

Mr Andrews was announcing an easing of the majority of restrictions in Victoria when he was asked by a reporter for his opinion on the demonstrators on the steps of parliament rallying against the proposed pandemic bill that will be voted on in the upper house.

"To all those, you know, complaining about a lockdown … we're not in a lockdown because the Victorian community didn’t listen to you. They went and got vaccinated instead," he said during Thursday's COVID-19 press conference.

"It’s (pandemic bill) about keeping us open for heaven’s sake. That’s what the rules are for."

He said ordinary Victorians were not "led down the path" by "extreme anti-vaxxers" causing "ugly scenes".

"Violence doesn’t work against this, science does though," Mr Andrews said.

"Division doesn’t work against this but a unified community does and that’s what Victorians should be absolutely proud of. I’m proud of them. And I’m deeply grateful to them."

The Premier, who has received death threats to himself and his family in recent weeks, said residents against the mandates and bill could "threaten me all they like" but he was determined each day to do "what is right and what is evidence-based" for Victorians.

He also double down on comments he made on Wednesday arguing the state would not be opened like it was now and hospitals would be "bursting" if a Premier was "beholden" by protesters.

“People can threaten me all they like. They can threaten my wife and my kids all they like," he said.

"It’s the safety of every family that gets me up every morning and sees me to bed very late at every night working as hard as I can for our state."

Mr Andrews then called out ministers who were playing "political games" with the controversial pandemic bill.

"I’m so deeply grateful that some people (ministers) have stood at the backdoor professing to be constructive and work together while their colleagues are standing out the front alongside extremists," he said.

"That’s not democracy. That’s political games."

"COVID is not a game, it’s about keeping people safe."

=Ukraine Enacts Sanctions Against Dozens of Russian Special Service Employees

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has imposed restrictive measures on dozens of employees of the Russian special service, according to a decree published on Nov. 18 on the presidential website.

“[I hereby decree] to activate the Aug. 20, 2021 decision of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council [NSDC] on applying personal special economic and other restrictive measures,” the decree said, Russian news agency TASS reported.

The individuals, which includes 23 Russian citizens and five Ukrainians, will be banned for three years from using their assets in the Eastern European nation, transferring capital, transiting goods, or taking part in privatization auctions, according to the decree.

According to an addendum to the decree obtained by TASS, the individuals on the list include a number of Ukrainians who are registered in the regions of self-proclaimed republics Donetsk and Lugansk, which are not under the control of Kiev.

Ukraine has already imposed sanctions on thousands of Russian entities since relations between Kiev and Moscow collapsed in 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea and backed separatist forces in eastern Ukraine. Concerns over Russian troop movements fueled recent tensions.

In mid-November, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence announced that a large number of Russian troops had been left behind near the Ukrainian border after Russia held a series of large-scale military drills. The Ukrainian president said on Nov. 13 that the number of Russian troops in the region totaled 100,000.

Zelensky signing the decree also came just several days after Russia’s president Vladimir Putin on Nov. 15 signed a decree on trade with the separatist-controlled areas, a move claimed by the country’s foreign ministry as “gross interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine.”

Boris Gryzlov, a Russian envoy, said on Nov. 18 that Putin’s decree on trade in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions contributes to “overcoming the aggressive economic and humanitarian blockade of Donbass and stabilizing the social and economic situation in the region,” TASS reported.

“This is a purely humanitarian response to Kiev’s non-fulfillment of the Minsk accords, the economic and transport blockade of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions that has been in place since 2017, and the liberation of the region’s residents from the economic stranglehold created by the Kiev regime,” the envoy said.

Russian-backed separatists have fought since 2014 against Ukrainian forces in the Donbass, a conflict that Kiev says has killed 14,000 people.

The conflict erupted in the months after Russian forces seized Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula in 2014. Ukraine and Western countries say Donbass separatists have been armed, led, funded, and aided by Russians, including active Russian troops. Moscow has denied interfering. While a ceasefire halted full-scale warfare in 2015, sporadic deadly fighting never ceased.

Over $53 Million In Meth, Coke, & Pot Seized By Border Patrol In Texas

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers recently seized narcotics that totaled over $53.2 million in street value.

The first seizure occurred on Nov. 12, at the World Trade Bridge, after CBP officers encountered a 2013 Kenworth hauling a shipment of fresh cauliflower arriving from Mexico. The tractor and the trailer were referred for a canine and non-intrusive imaging system inspection, resulting in the discovery of 412 packages containing 2,611.15 pounds of alleged methamphetamine and 50 packages containing 113.31 pounds of alleged cocaine. The narcotics combined had an estimated street value of $53,096,364.

The second seizure occurred later that evening, also at World Trade Bridge, after CBP officers encountered a 2012 Ford E-350 with a shipment of seat cushions arriving from Mexico. The truck was referred for a canine and non-intrusive imaging system inspection, resulting in the discovery of 400 packages containing 1,013.68 pounds of alleged marijuana within the shipment. The narcotics had an estimated street value of $202,735.

The narcotics combined had an estimated street value of $53,299,099.

“Attempts to smuggle contraband through commercial supply chains are increasing,” said Port Director Alberto Flores, Laredo Port of Entry. CBP’s continued robust enforcement posture and dedication to border security operations has led us to major narcotic interdictions at our cargo facilities.

Meanwhile, Food & Wine magazine reports a 30-year-old Polish truck driver traveling into the U.K. from France was found to have 418 kilos of cocaine hidden amongst a load of frozen onion rings. Authorities estimate that the drugs would have had a street value of around $44 million.
